Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy
National Journal ^ | 2010-01-27

Posted on 01/29/2010 9:37:42 PM PST by rabscuttle385

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation not only because it's good for the economy and the environment, but because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.

"We tried immigration. It's hard. And we failed. We tried Social Security. It's hard. And we failed. We tried health care. It's really hard. And it looks like we're going to have to start over again," Graham somberly told a luncheon audience of energy and climate advocates on the Hill. "On the energy, climate change front, I don't want to add that to the list. There is no reason in my mind that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can't come together."

You are so right, and the people of SC are so wrong.

Quick, somebody find the dirt the climate change enthusiasts have on this clown and throw him out of office. Surely this closet homosexual has some rather interesting sideshows somewhere. He’s getting rather blatant in his behavior lately and the timing would be perfect.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation (pap removed) because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt."

And that, Miss Graham, is precisely what is wrong with Washington. You are part of the problem.

If Juan McCain wins they will flip. McCain becomes the liberal that he *IS* and Graham-nesty becomes a “conservative” until his 2012 election.

Great observation.

I have an idea for a “win”- investigation, then possibly indictments, and then trials.

I’d focus first on the handling of medieval Warm Period, then Maunder minimum.

Then on the number of people who willingly propagate Warmist lies.

Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy

A Resounding NO is the only way to win with "climate policy" from congress.

Grahammy, just admit you are a RAT like Spechter did.

This asshat has to be tossed from the Republican Party. He has to be totally exposed as the Leftist, Socialist that he is, or people are going to be so damned confused as to what a Conservative really is they won’t even try to understand.

Lindsey Graham is working not only against us, but is representing against us.

Not sure why he is pushing this so much. Climategate can not just be ignored. He must be getting something out of it. If anything they should be calling for an investigation into the fraud, otherwise he becomes part of it.
